Barbenheimer BACKLASH in Nuclear-Scarred Japan | ​⁠

[@TheStanHill]

After all these years of hearing Chris introducing the show and Pete, finally we can see him doing it.

Wherever you may be in the big wide world

@@daveyp2tm i've heard it so much it's ingrained into my soul

[@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw]

I've listened to this show for years and always imagined Pete was a sock puppet animated by Chris.

[@selenazc]

This!! So cool

[@Anderg07]

How the hell... are you doing.@@daveyp2tm

[@doctordude8651]

I can finally recommend this to my Swedish friends who have crazy stories in japan. We can finally see Chris and Pete's epic facial expressions when they read them

[@RamdanRandom]

fax the story now

[@littlebigkicker]

sabaton would love tohere it lolz

[@GeekyC]

“We’ve done 445 episodes” me just now finding out about this podcast and being excited to have something to binge 😮

[@aliciawanstedt8188]

I’m mostly here to see the new studio, as I listen to the podcast at work, but seeing Pete after hearing him for so long is nice✨

[@Moores88]

He’s kinda hot

[@erikjohnson2776]

Unsurprisingly, the new studio looks great, but Pete's setup looks lovely too. Really raising the bar for video podcast backgrounds!

[@charlesmurphy5644]

It’s about time we can see Chris’s facial expressions after Pete says something out of left field! First Luke and Pete and now Abroad in Japan, I’m being spoiled by visual Pete! Thank you two for all the quality content‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😺

[@charlesmurphy5644]

PS I finally seen Pete’s Otamatones, my life is complete!

[@marcopolo208]

Been listening since the first podcast, so 5 years already. Never missed an episode. Really excited to see the reactions from fellow listeners. Love the new studio and finally also seeing the backyard bungalow that Pete is working from.

[@AbroadInJapanPodcast]

Thanks for sticking around all this time! Get ready to see all the snacks I secretly eat while we record 😅

[@adaldi_]

Guys maybe promoting this channel in your Abroad In Japan main channel community post and/or posting a tweet on both yours and Pete twitter would be great so people can find you easier. Took me 5 minutes to actually find this channel when I heard you were recording this on Spotify. Love. ❤️🎉

[@adaldi_]

10k Views, 1.5k Likes, and 7.5k Subscribers in the first day is great! Not taking any credit of course but the Community Post definitely helped, truly hope you'll reach a million subscribers and getting a steady 100k+ views per episode. Been listening for a while now through Spotify and haven't stopped! Congrats once again 🎉🎉

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

I’ve been watching abroad in Japan for years and I legitimately had no idea he had a podcast until a few months ago from like an off handed comment in a live stream. And now I’m learning it’s got nearly 500 episodes!!! It’s definitely under advertised by him

[@Mashiroro]

@@lisahoshowsky4251me, today finding out when I’ve been watching since 2018 😮 at least I have a binge library

[@robertthompson90]

It's finally here. My god. Now excuse me while I turn off the screen and listen to this while I go to sleep as per usual.

[@OmerMeee]

It's great to finally have you on KZbin! I can finally actually follow the releases and have context for the small visual only things that happen

[@danielwoods6652]

Five years, ,お疲れ様

[@MarcEmerald]

The best podcast about learning about Japan (without having to be in Japan) finally in video!!

[@Vizkutt]

Getting in on the ground floor with camera shy Chris and podcast Pete, finally in the visual medium, well done gents. I'm holding out for the audio book Chris but perhaps you can do a book reading on here in the interim.

[@SirTwitchy]

Having listened to the podcast since day 1 I'm super excited for this channel i hope all goes well

[@ld599]

We all knew Chris had an awesome studio, but I didn't realise Pete's retro garden HQ was almost just as cool!

[@RetroBreak]

Awesome to see video podcasts finally! Been listening to the podcast since episode 1! Excited to see it continue and to bring this new format to more listeners too!

[@ctrlaltrees]

Well fancy seeing you here 😁

[@Holdsworthands]

this is perfection for me i stopped hearing the podcast after years hearing there and im ready to come back im having even nostalgia hearing the intro song again, since i do everything on youtube this is greatly appreciate it and im ready to join once again

[@jjj8317]

The hype around Oppenheimer and the date of the bombing does make curious about how much about the war are Japanese people are aware of. As in the Japanese actions in the Asian continent and Oceania towards civilians

[@slax4884]

All I beg you is to keep the intro music always. These tiny podcasts make me so happy :) I've deeply enjoyed them. Nice to see Pete Donaldson as well, I had no idea what he looked like lol

[@bronislava1551]

Yayyyy!!❤ Thanks for doing this guys..

[@CrippedGinge]

Can't believe we finally get to see you both in the flesh presenting the podcast, it's been a long road listening from day 1 but finally we can watch the awesomeness unfold.

[@ArkVogel]

I had this mental image of Persnickety Pete and THIS IS NOT IT. My podcasty worldview will never be the same. Cool to see you guys on screen though!

[@Twisted_Rose96]

He's on one of Chris' videos from years ago

[@robertthompson90]

Yeah he was on journey across Japan I think

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I've seen him muiltiple times, I feel like. But if his mug offends you, you can always return to the podcast/no video version 😊 They're happy to have your support either way.

[@simonjohnson4704]

And in Natsuki The Movie :)

[@sayantanmazumdar3]

He's literally in the first 'journey across' Japan series.

[@jb0258]

I've been listening to the podcast for years while on any long drives traveling. It's so nice to see you make the move to KZbin with it!

[@AaronAnaya]

17:36 Hmmm, I wonder why Japan would focus on the one part of WWII where they were unambiguous victims?

[@Blex_040]

Great first video episode! But I would prefer it if you two are always on screen side-by-side instead of switching to whoever is speaking because I think it's more interesting to see the reaction of the one not speaking (smiling, laughing, nodding, eye-rolling, face palming, etc.)

[@austinwiebe3801]

Good point, I second this

[@sersero]

Yes!

[@maximmortal]

I came here to say the same thing. It’s all about seeing the interaction between you two.

[@samuraijosh1595]

no id rather not. the switching speaker style of the video encapsulates how the podcast felt to me.

[@underactive]

they should go all-in on japanese style tv and instead of split screen, have a tiny little reaction window of pete/chris in the corner of the video

[@RedZoneRogue]

Going visual with the pod was a good idea. Excellent as usual gents 👍

[@rotary3k]

Been listening for years Chris, this is an awesome addition! The new studio is a huge upgrade.

[@RobyParak]

I remember Chris saying that he enjoyed the lack of comments below the podcast episodes - because no comments = no bad comments. To everyone reading: Do not bother to write below here if you aren't going to say anything nice. Let's keep the podcast a positive vibe regardless of the platform, I really enjoy having this place where he could share his real thoughts.

[@NeoTheory]

Thank you for being so committed to the podcast pete and chris! It's without a doubt my favourite podcast, I've been binging it for the last 3 years or so and I only wish there was more! Glad to see its on youtube now can never go wrong with more video content! Thanks for the years of entertainment, and here's to many many many more!

[@dahpython7764]

really nice seeing Chris and Pete finally on camera for the podcast

[@Boomdizzle99]

wow!!! Been listening since the pandemic began so its been about 3 years now. Feels so strange and new but very exciting to see it in video form. Congrats on the new book Chris and will pete ever do the pod again from the inside of his Jaguar? That would be fun to catch on video! Thanks guys!! Keep it coming

[@SatanSupimpa]

Listened to every single episode before this one, and now I'll watch every single one after it.

[@Stanimir7]

As someone that used to listen to the podcast a long time ago, love to see this on KZbin now. As I'm on KZbin more often than the podcast player, when I see it in my subscriptions, hours later, I'll watch it. As opposed to getting the notification from the podcast player and forgetting about it later when I actually have the time.

[@cairofuller1995]

So glad you've come to YT! Very much looking forward to the podcasts. I also ordered your book. Can't wait to read it! I'm sorry I don't have any crazy stories to share, or questions to ask. I'll just sit back and enjoy listening to the show!

[@seriamon]

I do daily walks rn, about 2 hours a day - these podcast videos are awesome to listen to while out and about Please make more

[@meapineapple2383]

This was such a remarkable wholesome moment. Been waiting for this moment and so happy it is here! It has been fun seeing people see Pete for the first time and what they imagined he looked like. Pete is Colonel Sanders! Thank you Chris and Pete for the amazing content! Cheers mates 🍻!

[@BassicswithPaul]

Yes! Been listening to you since the beginning, now great to see Pete again. The first Abroad in Japan episode I ever watched was you guys in Osaka. Addicted ever since!

[@mariosc2133]

It felt so weird listening to the intro that I've heard for so many years and seeing Chris' face at the same time😂 So nervous at the beginning too 😂😂 I tend to binge listen several episodes in a row. But now that's on youtube it'll be much easier to listen as soon as they come out

[@LEWIS1992]

This was surprisingly well edited! Nice to see this come to a new platform, especially for those of us who don't use Spotify etc.

I was looking for more podcasts to start listening to regularly and im very picky about watching video only so very happy you guys are on youtube! Love Abroad in japan and chris in general very excited for more episodes. Cheers guys.

[@TheDustyForest]

To be honest I haven't listened to the podcast in a while, after I started listening to audiobooks, I just don't ever really listen to audio-only podcasts any more, but now that this is on KZbin, I'm more than excited to jump back in. I genuinely loved the podcast back in the day, I just fell out of the habit of listening to podcasts and so gradually forgot about it. Looking forward to another 400 from here on out guys! Thank you!

[@depressoespresso6428]

Excited to tune in to this podcast. Pete's accent is lovely!

[@Curly3373]

So glad the podcast is available on YT 🎉. I tried to find it on the usual plateformes and never got to listen to it and just gave up. 😂

[@NaughtyBowl]

I had no idea how to find the Podcast before despite being aware of it... So this right here is great!! 👌

[@therealshard]

Already listened on Spotify. Am I gonna rewatch it here? YOU BETCHA

[@freakMasha]

Very excited about this! I have podcasts on while I'm drawing or doing chores. Being able to look at the face of a person who's speaking is always nice

[@antisal4192]

I'm a proud swede among the other 80% abroad in japan podcast viewers

Soo weird finally getting to see you guys doing the podcast, but exited for this new era!

[@AwkCrafty]

It's so good seeing their beautiful faces while they speak. Also Pete's background is gorgeous!

[@CamaraTragon]

Really glad to watch you guys finally here!

[@slmsmanutd]

Omg this is so great!!! Thank you for having this on video for us!! Would have been happy either way but it’s definitely a bonus to be able to see you guys. Keep up the great work!

Dear, Curious Chris & Perspicacious Pete, Great episode. Thanking you, Sayantan.

I am SO glad to have this version too! You'll do great Chris, don't be camera shy (I remember you mentioned it in an earlier podcast episode). Also, KZbin ad rev 😂

[@ichishoto]

Glad it's finally arrived to youtube!

[@SeohnAranys]

Now I can watch the podcast at home and listen to it at work. Best of both worlds.

[@TheRichardSilver]

Finally I'd been waiting for this for so long. I can finally enjoy the podcast now in a way I prefer so I will not miss a single episode. Subscribed and notifications are ON.

[@ponzu_guy]

I caught up on the podcast recently while getting my wisdom teeth removed, and gotta say that watching y'all on youtube is way more fun! Congrats on the new channel, this is cool!

[@Exenzy]

what a surprise! just got this video recommended, and was wondering wth. but was super surprised when i saw it was chris and pete! Loved the podcast :) Spread the word! Cheers!

[@battomon5554]

FINALLY! After all this time! I'm so glad you finally started showing the videos with the audio! I have wanted this for a long time! Thank you :)

[@powerheather]

Anyone else surprised Pete has such long hair? I've been listening while washing dishes and laundry for years. It's funny I've never googled what Pete looks like. Good to see you!

[@ezenart]

I’ve been listening to the podcast from the start, I’ve wanted this transition to video to happen for years! I’m so glad!

I'm so glad that the podcast is finally on KZbin! Congrats Chris and Pete! And don't worry too much about it Chris, I bet it's going to be just fine.

[@richardenrooijen]

Aaaah yeeeeees! The podcasts were always a standard ritual when driving to work, but since moving 'abroad' (pa-dum-tss) in september last year, it isn't anymore, and i'm missing most of them now. And this is perfect for me!

[@thatkarairamen]

After listening to the podcast on Acast then switching to Spotify due to it shutting down. Finally I get to watch the Abroadcast on KZbin. Thank you for brightening up my grocery runs, my cooking time, my hikes.

[@Azrael713]

Something about Pete's studio appeals to me more than the official AIJ studio. Just feels more cozy. Then again i am a simple person.

[@Kuro_kon]

after so many years of listening to this podcast I can finally watch it as well.

[@SSBBcore]

Man from Sweden here, finally I can enjoy this podcast with video ❤

[@ijustbechilling]

it's good to be able to see the pics/vids of the things you guys are talking about as you talk about them. nice little touch

[@potgee]

Happy to see Pete, but also equally happy to see Chris actually do that iconic intro.

[@tacticalgrace6456]

I think this will supplement rather then replace my listening to the podcast. Great to see Pete & Chris show things they are talking about but the audio podcast is convenient to listen to while doing other things.

[@hapsate]

So excited for this content! This is the only place I listen to podcasts

[@robbie_ray]

I've been following Chris' AIJ KZbin channel since 2019 and this is honestly the first time I realized he has a Podcast. Love the conversations and insight gent's. Thank you for putting it on YT. All the best and matane.

[@christopherpatricklizares5306]

I always enjoyed the podcast intro music, and the montage made me like it even more. Cheers for finally putting this up on KZbin! Thanks, guys!

[@TK_Creative_Studio]

THANK YOUUUU I live on YT and LOVE seeing peoples faces and reactions for podcasts!

[@hex1c]

First time listener! I'm also from Gothenburg, Sweden! Love your content Chris!

[@jimmyjamal951]

So happy your bringing your podcast over to KZbin. I’ve known you had one but I mainly just like to stick to KZbin. Do you think you will reupload older podcasts with like just a simple graphic design or something? Like an archives series or something? I’d watch that one too each week or so

[@adriennash7326]

Nice to finally see Pete's face. Never knew what he looked like before. 😜

I’m a podcast listener but I’m so happy you guys are putting this on YT! Love seeing your faces and your backgrounds- love the studio and Pete did such a great job putting his together! so glad this is getting some nice views, I hope you’re finding it worth the effort and takes you to the next level!

[@auberginebear]

Finally getting to see Pete and he looks exactly how I imagined hearing his voice for the last 100 episodes. Here's to another over 400, nearly 500 episodes!

You look amazing, set/shed looks amazing, nothing to fear there. Congrats!

Very surreal but awesome! Been listening to the podcast for 2 years now! Subbed!!

[@Effemm89]

Yay welcome to KZbin! Really glad you've finally done it 😄

[@CTCTraining1]

Chris, definitely recommend that you link your other channels to this one. KZbin isn’t recommending it to me (a faithful AiJ viewer) so it may not be reaching the wide audience it deserves. Keep up the great work 😀👍

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

I’ve been following abroad in Japan for years, probably 5+, and a huge podcast listener for even longer. I legitimately didn’t know he had a podcast until maybe a live stream a few months back when he mentioned it. I had no idea they were at nearly 500 episodes!!!! I’m even subscribed on Apple podcasts and a semi-frequent listener and I just never realized😱

[@AustinJEller]

LET'S GOOOOO!!! I've been a listener since the release of the first episode, so glad to see a video version after all these years!

[@TehScareM8]

me too, let's go!

[@gabrielmorais1594]

Love listening on Spotify but the visuals of the podcast on youtube looks amazing

[@DavidHunter]

I’d fallen off the podcast for some reason, definitely thinking rather watch it on the big telly instead at home so I’m glad for this. Especially when the studio looks so good.

[@ezenart]

Chris and Pete have been my car buddies all year, I don’t like driving that much but I feel much better having you both chatting in the background while I drive at night.
